11 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 72 · Health risk score 2.69. Above the middle of the specialty; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1.76.
The office billed $8,655, Medicare allowed $3,987 and paid $3,177; for 42 services of 5 kinds.
Original Medicare patients only. A risk score of 1.0 is the average Medicare patient; higher means sicker. Any count under 11 is hidden.

Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$23,965
Pharmacies billed $23,965 in 2024.
This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.
Opioids were 8% of their Part D prescriptions (35 of 437) in 2024. A higher opioid share than 9 in 10 peers; the typical internal medicine clinician is at 1%.
393 generic and fewer than 11 brand-name prescriptions · $23,965 in drug cost · 13 antibiotic prescriptions to 11 people.
Part D prescriptions only. The opioid rate is opioid prescriptions as a share of all this clinician's Part D prescriptions; surgeons and pain specialists run higher than others, so it is shown against the same specialty.
